Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This study�s purpose is to examine the process and consequence of Dong-il Textile company�s young female factory workers� struggle and resistance against the dominating force of capitalism and patriarchy in the historical context of the 1970�s Korea through analyzing the formation and transformation of their collective action and collective identities. I depend on theories such as Tilly�s contentious politics, Melucci�s contructivist view and Gould�s explanation of collective identity. I argue that several factors such as environmental structure, relational patterns or informal networks, ideology and critical events interplay with one another and help form and transform the collective identities. The collective identities of Dong-il female workers transformed from traditional women to uneducated manual workers who lack femininity, to workers with working class consciousness, to female workers opposing male workers as well as male capital, and finally to individual human beings who claims for basic human rights. And the final consequence of the transformation of the collective identities is disappearance of gender politics.
